Whatever happened to geography? It should have been in the intellectual
vanguard of the environmental revolution of the past 25 years, but it missed
the boat. Ron Johnston and his co-editors of Geographies of Global Change
(Blackwell, 拢12.99/$22.95 ISBN 0 631 19327 8) admit as much, and
promise to help get geographers back up to speed and 鈥渞emap the world in the
late 20th century鈥�. Good on the globalisation of finance, the media,
migration, pollution, disease and so on, it tries hard but lacks a central
vision. We await the definitive geography of the new world order.
